You can't change your shoes until they've been split You can't sing the blues until you've been in it And you can't count the miles until you've been anywhere All the while never arriving, always getting there You can't change a memory in time You can't stop the world on a dime You've never lost if you consider your life fair All the while never arriving, always getting there [Chorus:] Only getting there, only getting there I'm never arriving, always getting there Only getting there, only getting there I'm never arriving, always getting there No matter the mountain that stands tall You never know until you've climbed 'em all On the other side you finding it lying there All the while never arriving, always getting there [Chorus] I'm never arriving, always getting there
